Hello Friends yea i knw its a long time i havnt share anything new with you , but today you gona love this post for sure :). so what this post is all about ? well as we all know WEP encryptions are easy to crack and hence can be vulreable if applied as security on your wireless devices beacuse it does not required a hard job to exploit , but when it comes to talk about WPA and WPA-2 then obviously its bit hard beacuse till now everyone knows that We can crack WPA and WPA 2 with only dictionary attack, yes i write it as TILL NOW :) , beacause security researchers now come up with a new solution to crack down WPA and WPA-2 encryption without any dictionary attack and also via a very easy manner.

So in this post i am sharing a new method for cracking WPA and WPA-2 to test the security of your wireless devices.

Before we proceed first lets understand what do you mean by WEP, WPA and WPA-2 encyptions.WEP, WPA and WPA2 are wireless encryption. The major differences in them can be understood by the following-

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is 802.11's first
hardware form of security where the user and WAP are configured with an
encryption key of either 64 bits or 128 bits in HEX. It works in this
way that when the user attempts to authenticate, the AP issues a random
challenge. The user then returns the challenge, encrypted with the key
and the AP decrypts this challenge and if it matches the original the
client is authenticated otherwise not. The problem with WEP is that the
key is static, which is vulnerable, means by using some tools a hacker
could use reverse-engineering to extract the encryption key. This
process affects the transmission speed.

WPAstands for WiFi Protected Access. It builds upon WEP, to make
it more secure by adding extra security mechanism and algorithms to
stop unauthorized access. WPA delivers a level of security way beyond
anything that WEP can offer. WiFi compliance ensures interoperability
between different manufacturer’s equipment. WPA bridges the gap between
WEP and 802.11i networks, and has the advantage that the firmware in
older equipment may be upgradeable. It's a new security standard adopted
by the WiFi Alliance consortium.

WPA2is similar to WPA, except one thing that it add extra
encryption called AES-CCMP. The primary difference between WPA and WPA2
is that WPA2 uses a more advanced encryption technique called AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard), allowing for compliance with FIPS140-2
government security requirements. We prefer WPA2 because it has more
than three protection levels, making it nearly impossible for computer
guru hackers to break the encryption. AES is so good that it blocks
statistical analysis of the cipher text. WPA2 is based upon the
Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) 802.11i
amendment to the 802.11 standard, which was modified on July 29, 2004.
